Also known as "Crazy Idea #1". If I work through all of my current in-progress projects (making a 'watercolor' picture of the house, converting all of my vinyl and casettes to digital) and digitizing all of my 35mm slides, learning a few words of Welsh, and possibly other things, I know what I want to work on during the winter of 2008/9 when it's too cold and dark to ride.
I want to build a carbon fiber recumbent bike. I know some places where I can buy parts, and I can buy some plans to help me design (or at least avoid known pitfalls), and lots of people have already done this. So, it has to be possible, if you design well, and work really well and carefully, no ? It would be so cool to ride a bike that you designed and built by yourself. The lightness of carbon fiber-coated foam core would just be an added bonus. I've stripped bikes down to the frame and re-assembled them, but this is a whole new level of bike insanity.
Off to do some research, so I can think about this while finishing my current projects.
